Irish Education and Catholic Emancipation, 1791–1831 The Campaigns of Bishop Doyle and Daniel O’Connell

"This fascinating book, which documents the parallel approaches taken by Daniel O'Connell and Bishop Doyle in their political lobbying on the Irish education issue in the 1820s, fills an important gap in nineteenth-century Irish historiography. While rigorous and scholarly in its approach, it is engaging in its style."

- Áine Hyland, Emeritus Professor of Education, University College Cork

"Comprehensive, challenging and accessible, this book provides a unique insight into the role of Bishop Doyle and Daniel O' Connell in the social and political world of early nineteenth-century Ireland. It is compulsory reading for anyone interested in this fascinating period of history."
